It turns out I can do fuckall with my nh-d15 on my new setup. GPU wont fit full stop. Im very skeptical with trying to purchase nh-d15s this time around, as Im pretty sure I wont be able to use the offset mounting kit for it without running into the same issues that need that cooler to begin with.

Is there a cooler that is just straight up for am5 and cools like a champ? No fucking around with offsets and such. Can be AIO for all I care.

    Yeah I ended up taking a peek. Literally NOTHING was compatible that I would put on a 7950x3d. It has such a miniscule headroom, not even the nh-d15s, or even some of their smaller coolers would go on it. Ended up with Arctic Liquid Freezer II 420.

      Been looking at matx boards recently, and the MSI boards seem to have their first pcie slot a bit lower than the others

        Not really an option to swap at this point anymore. Well whatever, Im more satisfied with the cooling abilities of the AIO anyway.
